Delosperma nubigenum has bright yellow single flowers that burst into colour in early summer and continue right through fall. Ice plants are long-blooming and carefree succulent mat-forming perennials similar to stonecrops that thrive in heat, drought and nearly any well-drained soil. Very hardy but should be protected from winter wet either with very well drained soil or in the rainshadow of a house or other structure. Great in containers and living walls. Deer resistant. Some say hardy to zone 3.
